I still have two working feet even after 80hrs a week

When I first started in the security industry I went through 3 pairs of boots. I am not too bothered what they look like, but standing around 80 hours a week in same boots really takes its toll on your feet, the circulation in your legs and even your back. So my three pairs of naff £30 boots caused me sore skin on my feet from poor insoles, bent toes from bad fitments, very sore heels from lack of bounce in the sole, bad circulation and swelling in my feet from the way they laced up, and they also brought on sciatica from the jolts as I ran. I was a bit of a mess as you can imagine.

That was until my old boss made me by some Magnums. I was thinking how expensive they seemed compared to my cheapo boots and that they better be worth the money... and god damn it they were. All my problems left me when I slipped on the comfy flexible black leather. Best footwear ever hands down - kept my feet dry and comfy, and there was no need for extra insoles. I fed them with boot polish every day for three years and cared for them.

After 3 loyal years of 80 hours a week service (that’s 2880 hours of service at least!!!!), they sadly died from a crack in the heel. Unfortunately I can’t afford a new pair at the moment, as, having become a father to my wonderful son, money’s tight. But they’re worth every penny and more, and one day, I will buy a new pair, maybe some Sidewinders I think.

R.I.P the best boots I ever owned, hope you’re happy in cobblers’ heaven.
